Fear not! I have returned!

[Unstoppable]

You say that as if it's inevitable, as if everyone experiences burnout at some point, but it's not the case. Only weak-minded individuals do so, and I'm not one of them, my will is as hard as nails, and my self-control is absolute, which is why I have no vices whatsoever, not even women can distract me from my path.

 

You sound like you are claiming perfection, however I believe that is unachievable. Though you can come close. Also I believe in Jesus which means you along with everyone else on this planet is a sinner.

What's got a member of the Mexican Congress got to do with it, and why do you believe in him? Are you mexican, or what?

Or did you man Jesus Ramirez, the spanish bicycle racer? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Ramirez

 

I'm a bit confused now.

Depends what you're doing with them. If you're literally just sitting around drinking and talking shit, then of course it's a waste of time. Doing nothing of any consequence like that is the very definition of wasting time, it's not just my opinion.

*Looks at oDDity's over 5K posts* Since you mentioned you were long ago finished contributing your part to the DM, can you make a proper distinction of how your time spent here is not wasted, without being hypocritical?

[oDDity]

I'm not finished contributing to it, I just haven't had any time.

Unless you're involved in something constructive or creative, you are wasting your time.

I don't do that any more. In fact, I don't do anything any more that isn't constructive or creative, or related to improving my knowledge and abilities so I can be even more constructive and creative.

I already wasted 10 years up to my late twenties fucking around doing nothing, and I'm not going to waste any more of my life.

Playtime is for children, and I don't need any.

I see that as you swinging back your balance in a big way. If you've had a lot of one thing, eventually you'll start craving the other.

 

Girls will "distract" you eventually

Maybe he is just not too familiar with the hetero sexual manners. Who knows?

[sparhawk]

Remove the "hetero sexual" part of your sentence, and you hit it right on the head.

[oDDity]

Yeah, yeah, but we've already established without a doubt that you're all hopeless sheep who follow every law, tradition, social convention, instinct, and every bit of biological and artificial engineering that has been hung around your necks since the day you were squirted out. Only 5% of your actions are actually your own conscious choice, impartially tested with logic and common sense, and 95% of your behaviour is given no more thought than any animal gives to its actions.

I agree that anyone who doesn't inhabit your collective is obviously a weirdo who needs to be assimilated.

"I'm not weird for not chasing girls" is what you're trying to say there, I think

 

"Distracted" is a bad word. I mean to say that once you've balanced your life in the work area, the desire to have more female companionship will gradually become more prominent, and you will want to come up with ways to accommodate that need in your lifestyle.

 

It's good that you are un-flinching in your dedication to what you've decided is your path. The truth is, that's actually more attractive to girls than any good looks.

As Pablo Tusset says (and Kristina Cordero translates) in The Best Thing That Can Happen to a Croissant,

 

"They say that two tits have a hell of a lot more pull than two trailer trucks, but I know the real weapon, the secret weapon that women use for trapping men: the weapon of overt and obvious signs of admiration. Fortunately I am aware of this particular trick and I try to focus on the tits when I can."

[Domarius]

Hm, I have to try to remember that technique...
